The apparatus' used in submarine photography consists of a detective camera in a hermetically sealed metallic case, which is fitted with glass wtmfows corresponding to the focussing glasses. The whole is oarried in a box attached to the diving suit. The necessary light, which is obtained from an electric battery on the top of the manipulator's helmet, is projected on to a refleotor placed in the rear part of the camera, and then passes through a glass in the front part. The most recent developments show that in naval warfare the camera will establish the location of torpedoes and bombs. An inoubator for weak and prematurely born infants is now in use in an East London Mothers' Home. It was presented by a wealthy lady, who first successfully used it in her home for her own infant.
